HDF-ENERGY

French Guiana Region to Install World's Largest Power Station with 140 MWh Renewable Energy Storage

HDF
(Hydrogène
de France
) has announced the launch of a world first in the history
of renewable energy with the creation of its CEOG project (French
Western Guiana Power Plant). The project harnessed via HDF’s Renewstable®
solution will deliver 100% clean, affordable and reliable power 24/7 –
with no fluctuations and at reduced costs – to an area of more than
10,000 households beset with energy delivery issues.

This major innovation is expected to revolutionise the energy sector and
mark the start of a new era in energy delivery. The project is backed by
a EUR 90 million investment from the company, private investment
partners and leading banks.

HDF is the world’s first producer of a stable electricity supply based
on intermittent energies. The Renewstable®
solution combines a 55
MW solar farm with the world’s largest renewable energy storage solution
to provide a ground-breaking 140 MWh
, based on hydrogen. This is
supported via secondary storage in the form of batteries.

The CEOG will address the crucial need to generate clean, reliable
energy and will yield economic benefits for French Guiana. With
coordination from public agencies in French Guiana, the plant will be
located in a territory hampered by electricity production resources
(currently a 20 MW deficit). The Renewstable®
solution will boost
the electricity grid for 20 years, by providing a reliable energy source
at a lower price than the current real cost of production in Western
Guiana, and without any subsidies.
